Toyota Camry vs Hyandai Sonata?

I am looking to buy my first car, it is going to be used as I cannot afford a new one. I have used an employer provided car for the past several years and need/want to get my own. I cant go with a cheesy car as I will be driving kids, so a good crash test rating and big backseat are a must. I was originally pretty much set on the Camry, my sister has an old one that has been great and I love the new design. Than I started researching and found that a lot of people say its not as good as it was and some people even stated transmission problems! Than I came across the Sonata and it seems to offer all the perks of a Camry at roughly $2000 less. The crash test isnt an all around 5 star that the Camry is but its definatly good anyway. Also I can't afford any more than an 07 Camry and even that is pushing my budget, but I can easily find an 08 Sonata for less money. So are there things I've missed? Is it still better to go with a Camry? Thanks for any feedback

Laslty, I will be buying from a reputable dealer like Carmax or such. So I know the car will be in good shape
I have looked at other cars and found things like the backseat is small, or the crashtest ratings are less than good, things like that. My sister has a Ford and as nice a car as it is, the resale stinks! I know Hyandai dosnt hav an awsome reputation but havent they been improved?
